I've never personally like the sound of the aq/sq subs very hollow.and yes I've heard them in proper enclosures.

I heard an HD3 15 trunk walled in a lancer, and for a fifteen in 4.5 @ 33hz, on 1500w it rolled off high as hell, the low lows just weren't there. The higher notes were forceful, but the lowest notes just went missing.

I have personally liked the sound of the aq/sq subs cuz they slam and play LOUD, in the proper enclosure.

We get it bro, you like Soundqubed, maybe later you can post something substantial, like an intro in the new members section, instead of peanut-buttering Sq's balls. And that's no slam to Soundqubed, I have no opinion on something I have no experience with. I just don't like minions that only run around posting nut-hugging. Reminds me of Kevin and his little posse. *shudders

If you're serious about this, build a custom box. Before buying anything you need to measure the space you have and then pick subs out. Post you're max dimensions and we can help you figure out what size and how many subs you should go with.

Man i had a 18" AQ HDC3 a few years back. Banged hard on mid and high bass but died off on the lows. My buddy just picked up 3 12" HDS300 and put them in his Ram inverted port up (dont know the exact dimentions of the box but i think it was tuned around 33hz) moves crazy air and sounds great for fairly cheap subs.

Completely different suspension between the two, that is why they sound so different, amount other things....like the coil and motor size.

A brief introduction to the all new SSA Demon, but first a farewell to its predecessor.
Our very long running SSA Dcon has ridden off into the sunset, or at least taking a breather. The SSA Dcon was our second subwoofer model we ever launched. At the very beginning, we had the Icon and as it gained traction we saw there was a need for a pure SQ sub of more modest power rating than that the Icon. So in early 2008, the first SSA Dcon was launched. (The Xcon followed shortly after). That being said, the Dcon was almost an immediate hit, with a long 2" copper coil (rarity to have one made in the USA) triple stack motor, rear vent. The Dcon was very affordable, well made, quite efficient, clean across the entire range, and flexible with enclosure demands. It is interesting as there are some SSA Family members who swear by their Dcon and will not give it up ever. (It even became a favorite of some of the home audio crowd). All that being said, the Dcon evolved a bit for its second generation, we made a leap forward in motor force moving to what is best described as a scaled down Xcon motor, with a large single slug, solid pole, and deeply bumped back plate, while beefing up the suspension and leads. We were able to bring the power handling up 33% while not hurting the sound that made the Dcon successful. There was a stretch of a few years, before we ran out of stock, that the SSA Dcon 12 was our all time best selling subwoofer. So its existence was very important to SSA. Well with changes in the market (read:customer demands and amps getting much cheaper), as well as sky rocketing material costs, building the Dcon in the USA no longer was an option, so production stopped early 2017 for both the Dcon (and Gcon) and inventory ran out later that year.
Late last year, due to the long lay off with out the Dcon (and Gcon), we started development of an updated Dcon at a new build house. The quality and performance of our SSA Evil1 tweeters were above our expectations, so we decided to send more production to that same build house. As we saw that the market slowed overall for modest power rated subs due to power getting cheaper and people wanting higher power handling subs, so the market began to really start heating up in the 500 - 1200 watt range, I knew we needed to address it. There is an 8" model developed, but it will not make it this first production run.
The new model had to handle more power and have more xmax while not sacrificing the balanced and clean sound the Dcon had established for nearly a decade. That meant larger motor, larger coil, more suspension, larger leads, thicker cone, taller surround, etc. In the end, all of the changes that happened to the over all design, we could no longer call it a Dcon. In sticking with the theme of the Evil, a model name that has become so well known, while respecting the Dcon, the Demon name was selected. The Demon is a great blend of the previous Dcon and Xcon, both in design and appearance. In prototype testing, the SSA Demon thrived smaller to mid-sized ported and mid-sized sealed enclosures.
Quick SSA Demon stats:
2.5" copper coil
Aluminum former
Aluminum Shorting ring
Solid pole, non-vented bumped back plate
Large single slug motor
Pressed pulp cone
Tall roll surround
Push terminals
Dual Nomex progressive spiders
Stitched tinsel leads
Large dome dustcap
I will list T/S specs and enclosure recommendations shortly. We are very excited about the SSA Demon as it bringing back to our line up a pure sound quality subwoofer that will be affordable, while still having the characteristic SSA warmth and output.

Hi, does anyone know the diameter on a soundqubed hdc3.110? Manufacturer doesn't list this, and I can't find it anywhere. I've got an odd shaped box I want to throw a pair in, but I need to make sure they'll fit first
